James R. Waldman, M.D.

"Providing patient satisfaction and care are my primary concerns. My goal is to provide the most recent, sophisticated, and safe technological innovations to a large number of people, giving them remarkable opportunities to restore or improve their vision."

Dr. Waldman is a comprehensive ophthalmologist. Given his interest in technological innovations, his practice has a focus on refractive surgery, LASIK, lens implants and astigmatism. "In my practice, I emphasize technology to improve surgical outcomes. I only use well-tested technology because safety and caution are an important part of achieving the best outcomes that will last a long time."

Correcting astigmatism is a passion for Dr. Waldman. He attends annual continuing education on the topic and hones his skills in hands-on training. He has had a special course in astigmatism correction, and thus he has adopted specific surgical techniques for this correction of the condition.
